Walt Disney World Resort is the biggest, and arguably the best, amusement park in the world. It contains four sections: the Magic Kingdom, with seven theme regions; Epcot Center, a science and world exhibition center; Disney MGM Studios, a movie and theme park; and Animal Kingdom, an adventure and safari park featuring wild animals, exotic landscapes and thrill rides.

Popular attractions include a 13-story free-fall plunge on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney MGM Studios; Epcot’s Mission:SPACE, which recreates space travel and pushes the boundaries of entertainment technology; and the Stitch's Great Escape at Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom.

Blizzard Beach, Disney’s third and largest water park, is set in a faux snow-capped mountain range featuring Florida’s only chairlift, which carries guests to the tip of Mount Gushmore. A number of water slides challenge visitors, including Summit Plummet, the tallest, fastest water slide in the world. More high-speed rides can be found at Typhoon Lagoon. River Country, in Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, is a relaxing water park where holidaymakers can relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings.
